Life has more meaning after meeting Ma Baba, their presence makes all the difference. They make the art of meditation so simple. I could really experience the vastness, the emptiness within that is difficult to express – only to be experienced. And it doesn’t stop with the Zen Retreats, it continues… The joy and peace I have experienced is beyond words. Having been an introvert, now, slowly I have started to open up, express my feelings and face my deeper core.

I was passing my days full of negativity and confusions, after the Zen Retreat I am LIVING my life on my own terms – full of joy and positivity. Ma Baba have taught me how to live a balanced life by letting-go of the problems and accepting all sorts of situations with a big smile. I have learnt to forgive, to be happy in life by loving and respecting myself. And now with meditation I am trying to find myself.

The experience lived with Ma Baba is even more alive today. For all the transmission received I am still moved today. There is immense gratitude towards Ma Baba and Life. Observing how much I live in the daily provocations, it’s all been lightened since. Thank you thank you thank you for always being in my heart…

What I lived with Ma Baba was fundamental for my opening to the divine. Their presence gave birth to what was previously only theoretical knowledge. I felt I was led into the space where time seems to have stopped, to be transformed into eternity. Their love reaches me in silence. This is the gift that accompanies me even in the darkest moments!! THANK YOU.

The Zen Retreat I attended transformed me so deeply that when it got over I was a different person altogether. I could let-go a lot of people and past hurts. I became more forgiving and loving towards myself and others. Learning to watch thoughts as waves that come and go, while I am just the observer and not my thoughts. This insight has paved way to the deeper self inquiry – of Who Am I.

Baba’s few words were enough to make me relaxed. The Zen Retreats gradually lead to the states of empty mind, my mind, my breath, my body and what not, everything – was just not there. It felt like everything inside and outside of me just settled down. The experience of extreme tranquility and the feeling of oneness, everyone and everything immersed in one – is unforgettable, as if the whole existence stopped in those moments.

Each session, talks and practical, is a peaceful flow of endless grace and compassion and the dimension of time is forgotten. In meditation, the experience of aloneness and emptiness is rejuvenating. It felt like this “Aloneness” and “Emptiness” is pervading in all beings and the worldly Games and Drama are happening within that. In the nothingness arose the feeling of “Oneness”. And the binary coding of the ultimate Zero and One was understood.

Being there with Ma Baba is all. Actually it feels like being at home. Being with them makes me complete – makes me feel like l am with myself. And the Zen Retreats they conduct are beyond anything – you find yourself a new YOU.

I received the insight to turn inward and be watchful of the thoughts. The talks and practical processes conducted by Ma Baba during the Zen Retreats have helped me in clearing all my dilemmas. I experienced a state of no thoughts and deep peacefulness and emptiness. I have read the scriptures that God exists everywhere, I have not experienced God but certainly have experienced the Emptiness in all and with all.

Being with Ma Baba feels like home. It’s not about renouncing the worldly joys, but about accepting life with all its ups and downs and still being able to live every moment to the fullest with awareness and compassion. I associate them and their teachings with everything liberal, righteous, free, happy, uplifting, and full of love for self and the universe.

मा और बाबा के साथ होना ध्यान में होना होता है, बिना बोले ही अंतर्यात्रा की सारी समस्याओं का हल मिल जाता है। मुझे लगता था कोई हो जो इस अंतर्यात्रा में मेरी सुध ले, और मुझे ऐसा अंदर से लगता है कि आपने मेरी सुध ली। यहाँ अंतर्यात्रा सबंधी समस्या पर लोग खूब बड़ी बड़ी बात कह उलझा देते है, पर आप बहुत ही सरलतम ढंग से सारी समस्या का हल कर देते है। मा और बाबा आपकी उपस्थिति में ही सब कुछ ठीक होने लगता है। लिखकर क्या बोल पाऊँगी जो हो रहा है वो मैं ही महसूस कर रही हूँ। आप दोनों के आशीर्वाद और सानिध्य सदैव बना रहे।

The perception towards life has changed gradually after the Zen Retreats. Feeling of insecurity, fear and the confused state of mind is lessened and I can experience peace and being in the present moment now. Applying the essence of Ma Baba’s message of ‘Awareness & Compassion‘ life has become more beautiful.

It is Ma Baba’s presence which makes every retreat out of the world. I have never experienced such peace, silence and happiness before. In one meditation session, there was very loud music playing outside but the meditation was so intense that the outer sound did not make any difference. I was with myself and inner sound for long time even after the meditation session was over. From that point onward, it has been easy to enter deeper experiences in meditation.
